I understand what you all are saying. It would appear that things
are "changing". However, I don't keep up with every little detail of
what Apple is doing on a daily basis with the OS and I find it
frustrating to have to ask these kinds of questions because, for all
of my searching, I have not found a discussion about what method one
should or should not use and what is heading for obsolescence. I
have only discovered that this didn't work by trial and error, not by
anything that the RB documentation said.
So I guess the consensus here is to NOT use extension filtering for
Mac OS, but MacType.

This is consistent. Though Apple appears to be slowly deprecating
it, MacOS files have a creator and a type. Each is a four-byte
string. The type of an application is "APPL", and this is the
MacType property to which the code below refers.

Yes, I wound up doing this. My question, though, is if extension
filtering doesn't work for ".app", how can I expect it to work for
".jpg", ".png" etc?
Frustrating for a relative newbie to try and figure out the
consistency (or lack of) in programming this stuff.

If you change this to "APPL", you'll have the official Apple-
designated Mac
type, and everything else should work fine.
